the the capital stock of $1,000
ter's report but they were al overruled
and decree entered against each stock
holder severally for the amount com
puted to be due from him according to
the amount of his stock. From this de-
cree Richmond ComstOck and others ap-
pealed. This court holds:
First-That the action of the circuit
court in permitting the amendments
to the original headings IS justi-
fed by the rules ON that sub
ject as stated by this court in the
case of Neale VS.. Neale, 8 Wallace, l, and
in the Tremalo patent, % Wallace, $751;
etc.
Second the statute of limita-
tIons, even if applicable as q bar to this
proceeding, ceased to run against the
creditors of the bank entitled to the ben
eft of the decree from the time when the
amended bill was filed in October, 1876
1t had not then taken effect.
Third-That the obligation of the de-
ceased stockholder survives as against
his personal representatives..
Fourth-Ihat Com stock is liable ON
stock sold by him in good faith bat not
transferred in the books as well as on
stock sold with a knowledge of the bank
insolvency.
Fifth-That the stockholders are by
law exonoreted from the obligation to
contribute to the payment of all claims
IN class d, amounting in the aggregate to
S1S5,O0O.
Sixth-That the creditors are entitled
to interest on the debts of the bank as
as againt the stockholders.
Seyenth-That the stockholders are
not bound to contribute as
debt due from the bank
or themselves to the fund for the pay
ment of the expenses of the receiver
ship. The decree of the circuit court in
sofar as it is inconsistent with the fore
going decision is reversed and the cause
remanded with directions to proceed
therein as justice and equity may require
in conformity with this opinion. The

''Of course they does. The deucidest
funniest thing happened here last sea
son, when was in the woods all alone.

Now Peter liked to be coaxed. and so
after considerable urging he went
on as follows:
"Of course you fellows that git all your
larnin' out of books and who believe
nothing cept what you can explain.
won't believe word ont, but its Just as
true as I'm sittIn on this ere stump and
don't you forget it!''
We'll, as was saying, l was here all
alone, and one day sez l to myself.

L took my pail and started of Every
thing was going along mouotonous like

something comm Though the bushes.
and efore I'd had time to more than turn
round out popped big sleek black bear
He'd bin berryin' too, and haviRg got
my wind jist came around to see who 1
might be. Well, as l hadn't no gun. and
as he kept cumEin' | thought il were
best for me get to out % there but be-
fore doing so-knowing the fondness of
the creeter for berries, and besides bein'
aware of his great bump of curio.ity-I
set down the pail before takin' ~ the
line of retreat. Not hearin' of him com
in arter me l turned around when I'd
get up a little hill, and sure
enough his nose was down in the
berries and short job he was making of
them, can tell you 1t wasn't long afore
he got the last of them, but not bein' in
the habit of eating from pail the sweet
juice that lined .he tin had stuck TO his
cheeks, and so when he riz up to go the
pail riz too, as putty a muzzle as you
ever seed in your life. Now everybody
knows how handy bear is with his paw.
and as he didn't like sich an ornament
for his face and havin' no furder use for
the pail, he riz his paw and gave /. slap
but as bad luck would have it the paw ac-
cidentally hit the pail tunk and sent it
hack over his ears and SO held the thing
on tighter than eAer. / never laughed so
in all my life, for stitch performance I'd
never seen the likes of IL ali mortal days
First one paw would ceme up and then
the other; then he'd whack il agi1 q tree,
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1887-04-01

and then he'd plough a furrer in the
ground; ut.there the thing stuck tighter
than ever. He was in for new
perience and no mistake.
why DIDN'T | go back to camp and g;.
my gun and finish him!" Why. il heat
all the clrcuses you ever thought of. and
60 you suppose I'll spoil sech show for
a little bear meat and a summer peltg
Vel, all OF sudden, while | was watchin'
the performance, off he bolted like chain
shot. Now bein' a little curious to know
now ne came out of the scrape. l took the
tram and follered him up after a little. 7
found his home not far off on the moun
talns yender. If you don't believe it I
can snow you his very den. 1t seems
oroln mad wife and several small chill
oren dependent upon him for support,
ana when they seed him commin' in such
a plight they howled dreadsu howl
Inc old woman tried her best to pull off
Ihe pan, but to no purpose, so finally she
made him hold his nose in the hot em-
oers OF her kitchen fire till he'd melted
OIL the bottom of the pail, and
atore I'd knowe9 it the whole thing
had been showed back over his ears,
and so he was trioked out with a tin col
lar. But II was curious sort of a collar
tor pear to wear, for it read
Fifteen POUNDS of Leaf Lard
Warranted Strictly Pure
But BRUINS trouble had only Just com
menced. He, like all other folks, had an
enemy, and enemies is allus wait;n' for
something to turn up to put Us in their
power. SO this particular enemy had
him arrested for sailing around under
false colors. In vain his LAWYER put in
the plea that the wearin' of the collar
was an unlntentional act, a thing that
couldn't be helped. The lawyer on the
other side claimed it was clear case of
fraud and misrepresentation. and agin
the statute book for a bear to call him
self fifteen pounds of leaf lard, when
there was nothing inside his pelt CORES
spending to 1t but bears lie! And so
they took him to prison, a great deep
cavern with gig boulder to the outh
ont.
But the strangest part of the story re-
mains to be told, for as true as I'm sittin'
on this ere stump, notwithstanding eli
the guards they put over him, and the
security of the prison, and the big bouI-
der and all that, the very next day he was
out ag'ln, and nobody, not even the high
sheriff of the hull region, dare lay claw
on him.
How was that, Peter? Please explain

with wink in his eye. He'd got bail,
